Hi,

i suffer from hayfever, even worse now that I moved to new zealands hay fever capital.I have tried every medication on the shelf and nothing seemed to work, so I finally went to the doctor and he gave me a steroid shot, kenacort it was called. However its been 2 days and today my hay fever is so bad I had to go home early from work. Please someone tell me when it will work! Otherwise I might have to quit my job, and I just started it two weeks ago (i work in agriculture).

Someone please help im in agony!! My eyes feel like they have dirt in them permanently, my chest hurts and im wheezy, my nose is stuffed up and keep s drippings like a tap. I want that shot to kick in!

Oh yes, the chest pains are just a symptom of hay fever right? My chest feels tight and its hard to breathe, but the last thing I want is asthma because I already have hay fever and eczema and I know im lucky because most people with those two have asthma too. Im 23 years old! Any help would be appreciated.

I would bet you may have asthma too. I would also ask for a nasal spray to go along with an antihistimine. On top of that...Maybe ask for a burst of prednisone? Though I would really, really hate that. Have you tried immunotherapy?

I thought you couldnt develop asthma at my age? Oh, I have a nasal spray but it doesnt do too much when my nose is really stuffed up. Its been 5 days now and im still waiting for the injection to kick in :/ and I have to go back to work tomorrow!

Sounds like asthma. U can develop it at any age. A lot of times hay fever and asthma go hand in hand. U prob need to get on some steroid inhalers. I take a pill every day that helps with both (singulair). Ur allergies may be worse also cuz of the shot they gave u. U could be allergic to it (which I doubt, but u never know!) asthma kills though, so get to the doc asap!!!!!!!!
